Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

My injuries are much more severe than Ying's; my ribs and other bones must be broken.

If only I could be cared for by my father like Ying, and I could also snuggle in his arms like a spoiled child.

However, before Kong could even hesitate about whether to cry too, Weevil's continuous screams and wails stopped, and then he charged towards Arn and Ying with his only remaining left hand gripping a long-handled sword.

This ferocious and crazed aura, resembling that of a wounded beast, made Zephyr, who was constantly on guard against Weevil's movements, tense up, and he quickly shouted a warning.

"Watch out! Lieutenant General Yann."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zefa tried to rush forward to block Weevil.

However, the moment Zephyr took a step, Yorn raised his hand to block him.

"Need not!"

The next moment, a large number of cherry blossoms suddenly rose up, blocking Weevil's path more than 20 meters away.

Layer upon layer, almost in the blink of an eye, a maze of cherry blossoms formed around Weevil, trapping him inside.

"Boom boom boom!"

A violent roar continued, and the entire training ship was shaking.

However, with countless cherry blossoms blocking and entangled, Weevil, who did not understand Observation Haki and whose vision was blocked, could only unleash his power on the large number of cherry blossoms like an extremely terrifying beast.

Yann slowly stood up, patted Ying's head, and said.

"Chief Instructor Zephyr, I'll handle this pirate. Could you please keep an eye on Sora and Hikari for me for a little while longer?"

Zephyr hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Vice Admiral Yann, this pirate's physique is in no way inferior to Whitebeard's in his youth; it's a monstrous body. You alone…”

Before Zefa could finish speaking, Yann said in a resolute tone.

"Let alone being no weaker than Whitebeard in his youth, even if Whitebeard himself were standing here, the outcome would not be the same in the slightest."

Zefa was slightly taken aback, never expecting that Yann would have such a level of confidence.

"Lieutenant General Yann... he's not joking."

Zephyr stared intently at Yaon, taking another look at this newly crowned "Naval Hero" and... his strength.

Even the Navy's top brass doesn't have a clear understanding of the extent of Vice Admiral Yann's power.

All that is known is that Lieutenant General Yann is a user of the "Sakura-Sakura Fruit" ability, has a relatively weak physique, is skilled in speed and Observation Haki, and is also a user of Conqueror's Haki. His most glorious achievement is that he once pierced through the Ancient Weapon Pluton in a way that defied common sense.

But no one knows the exact extent of their combat strength.

Now that Yann has made this declaration, Zephyr is somewhat skeptical.

After all, even Vice Admiral Garp, whom Zephyr was most familiar with and who was also extremely powerful, was not entirely confident that he could defeat Whitebeard one-on-one.

However, Arn didn't explain anything to Zephyr anymore, and instead spoke to Ying and Kong with a gentle smile.

"The following scene is not suitable for children, so Kong and Ying, can you close your eyes and say it ten times?"

"Yes, Father." Ying rubbed her wet eyes, responded, and then closed her eyes.

Kong asked in a low voice.

"Father, are ten times enough? Or perhaps..."

[Chapter 454 The Circulation of the "Iron Fist"]

Yes, are ten sounds enough?

The question that Kong asked was also Zefa's thought at that moment.

Even though Weevil has intellectual disabilities and is relatively slow in his movements, his physique is truly monstrous.

Ten sounds—that's far too arrogant.

Zephyr might believe that Yann, as a "naval hero," has the ability to repel or even defeat Weevil, but resolving the battle within ten minutes seems highly unlikely.

However, before Zefa could remind Arn, Arn gently ruffled Kong's hair and spoke.

"Kong, please have at least a little bit of faith in your father. He's just a stupid pirate, only good enough to bully you kids. Ten blows are enough."

Upon hearing this, Zephyr's expression turned somewhat strange, and he completely abandoned his original intention to remind Arn.

'Hmph, let this arrogant brat embarrass himself...'

However, at this moment, Yann did not notice Zefa's expression, but instead reached out and covered Kong's eyelids as well, and said.

"Sweetie, now cover your ears and start counting. After you count to ten, everything will be resolved."

Immediately, Kong and Ying covered their ears and began to count in unison.

"one……"

As Sora and Hikari closed their eyes, Arn's expression turned completely gloomy.

"Boom boom boom..."

Amidst the countless cherry blossoms surrounding Weevil, booming sounds and Weevil's angry shouts continued to emanate.

The next moment, as Yann raised his hand, the countless cherry blossoms scattered, revealing Weevil's enormous body.

"two……"

Seeing Weevil's ugly posture, Yann's anger could no longer be contained and surged up.

"Huh?!"

Weebull was taken aback when the annoying and somewhat sharp cherry blossoms suddenly disappeared, and then he noticed Yann standing not far away in his pajamas.

However, Weevil's gaze shifted and landed on Zephyr and Luminous again.

"Bang bang bang!"

With a swift movement, Weevil charged towards Zephyr and Luminous with a ferocious expression, like an unstoppable beast.

"three……"

"The Scenery of Thousand Cherry Blossoms!"

The next moment, the countless cherry blossom blades floating above the training ship converged and transformed into knives that reflected a cold gleam under the moonlight.

And the thousands of cherry blossom blades that converged to form a single blade all turned and aimed at Weevil, who was running around on the training ship.

Suddenly, as if sensing danger, Weevil, who was almost like a wild beast, stopped for the first time, his small, beady eyes looking in surprise and uncertainty at the thousands of blades pointed at him from above.

"So that's how it is. Even a beast like you can understand the feeling of danger and fear?"

Yarn walked step by step toward Weevil, his deep voice ringing out. "Then savor this fear, and perish here in regret and despair."

"Four……"

"Secret Technique: One Bite, a Thousand Blade Flowers!"

As Yann finished speaking, the thousands of blades scattered across the training ship attracted each other and suddenly converged on Weevil at an alarming speed.

"Whoosh!"

In that instant, as countless blades converged, it was as if a flower of sharp blades bloomed around Weevil.

Witnessing this scene firsthand caused Zephyr's expression to change.

On the surface, it was merely a large number of blades falling; apart from the sheer number, there was nothing noteworthy about it.

What's terrifying is that the thousands of blades fell simultaneously, leaving no room for escape, and they seemed to possess an extremely strong locking ability.

Even though Weevil had retreated more than ten meters, all of the thousand blades still struck him simultaneously.

"It's quite terrifying, an unavoidable attack. Aside from taking it head-on, only someone with Kizaru's speed would have a chance to escape."

Zefa couldn't help but comment.

"five……"

Just as Zefa finished speaking, a beast-like roar rang out from the center of the flower of blades composed of a thousand blades.

"Aaaaaah, it hurts so much! I'm going to kill you all, kill everyone who dares to hurt me!"

"Not dead?"

Yann uttered a soft word, and with a slight lift of his finger, the thousand blades instantly disintegrated into cherry blossoms, revealing Weevil within them.

"Zizzizi..."

At this moment, Weevil looked like a red hedgehog, with jets of blood spurting from his body.

Even so, this monster, whose body was almost entirely made of muscle, did not die; instead, it exuded an increasingly ferocious and terrifying aura.

"six……"

Meanwhile, Zephyr, who was constantly observing Weevil's changes, noticed that the countless wounds on Weevil's body were rapidly tightening to stop the bleeding, and couldn't help but remind him.

“Lieutenant General Yann, Weevil has mastered ‘Life Return,’ and this level of damage hasn’t defeated him yet…”

"is it?"

Ya'en responded, his expression unchanged. "It seems he is indeed more suited to be torn to pieces to end his sins."

The next moment, thousands more blades filled the sky.

"seven……"

"Secret Technique: One Bite, a Thousand Blade Flowers!"

Another thousand blades descended, resembling a beautiful and magnificent flower of blades.

however……

Under Zephyr's incredulous gaze, just as the blade was about to close, Weevil's entire body suddenly seemed to be covered in a layer of pitch-black substance.

'That's... Armament Haki?!' Zephyr's expression changed slightly.

The next instant, a series of dense "clanging" sounds rang out, and a large number of blades struck Weevil's body but disintegrated directly into cherry blossoms.

Zefa's eyes widened as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"No, this isn't ordinary Armament Haki. This is my unique way of channeling Armament Haki—'Iron Fist.' Did this guy learn it just by observing?"

"How is this possible? What terrifying learning ability! Not only has he mastered the life return technique, but he has also mastered the flow of my unique Armament Haki, 'Iron Fist,' during the battle to this extent."

"A monster, he has a monstrous physique, monstrous combat talent, and monstrous learning ability. Who knows, this guy might actually be a descendant of Whitebeard, as rumored."

Amid Zephyr's rapid-fire words, Sora and Hikari spoke again.
